According to the Square Enix studio Crystal Dynamics, Rise of the Tomb Raider will redefine the action survival genre. The game will be the sequel to 2013's Tomb Raider reboot.

In her first adventure, Lara Croft was transformed into a true survivor. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara will travel to hostile environments and, in a nod to overwhelming requests from series fans, explore an increased number of tombs. She must use her survival skills and wits, learn to trust new friends and ultimately accept her destiny as the Tomb Raider.

Darrell Gallagher, Head of Product Development and Western Studios at Square Enix: “With the power of the new generation and our proprietary Foundation engine, our high-octane action moments will be even more epic. Multiple locations around the world will be filled with exploration spaces that are some of the most beautifully hostile places on earth and over three times larger than we could achieve before. Our digital actors will rival CG quality, and after hearing the cry from our fans loud and clear, we will put the tombs back into Tomb Raider, all in our gritty Survival-Action style.”

Rise of the Tomb Raiderwill be released during the 2015 holiday season for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
